The spotlight will fall on three headline launches: the long-awaited MRT 4070 Vision+, Manitou’s tallest rotating telehandler to date, alongside the all-electric MT 1440e and MT 1840e. These follow the release of the MT 625e, the brand’s first fully electric compact telehandler.
MRT 4070 Vision+: Raising the Bar
After the success of the MRT Vision+ range in 2021, the new MRT 4070 Vision+ sets a new benchmark with a 40-metre lift height and 7-tonne capacity – the tallest and most powerful Vision+ model yet. With a 27-metre outreach, 211 hp engine, and CVT transmission, it is ideal for steel erection, modular buildings, roofing, and industrial maintenance. Making its UK debut at Plantworx, this high-capacity machine combines safety, innovation, and versatility.
Zero-Emission Innovation: MT 1440e & MT 1840e
Manitou is driving its electric shift with the MT 1440e and MT 1840e, offering up to 17.5 metres of reach and 4 tonnes of lifting capacity, powered by a 63 kWh lithium-ion battery. These models cut energy costs by up to 75% versus diesel, while retaining site-ready performance, including 25 km/h travel and compatibility with the 30 kW rapid charger.
Both join the growing Oxygen range, which includes the MRT 2260e and MRT 2660e (6,000 kg capacity, up to 26 m lift), the MT 625e (6 m / 2.5 t), and the 160 ATJe access platform. Flexible power options – single or twin batteries, or hybrid with range extender – give operators a full day of autonomy.
Compact Loaders: Completely Reimagined
Manitou has also refreshed its skid steer and track loader range with the V Series (2100V, 2300V, 2750V) and VT Series (2100VT, 2300VT, 2750VT). These feature:
Up to 12% more breakout force
14% larger fuel tanks
Redesigned cabs with better visibility
Keyless start, LED lighting, and folding door as standard
Joystick controls have been improved for intuitive handling, and all VT models feature the IdealTrax™ automatic track tensioning system, reducing wear and maintenance. Options such as high-flow hydraulics, rear cameras, and extra lighting allow operators to tailor machines to jobsite needs. awesomeearthmovers.com

Gehl Expands Compact Loader Offering
Acquired by Manitou in 2008, Gehl will also be represented at the show, further strengthening its compact equipment portfolio with the launch of six new loaders. The line-up features three V Series skid steer loaders (V210, V230, V275) and three VT Series compact track loaders (VT210, VT230, VT275), each designed to improve safety, comfort, productivity, and ease of maintenance.
